Pilgrim Hall Museum is closed
until May 31, 2008
for a major expansion and renovation project.
Pilgrim Hall's treasured
collections are held in trust for posterity.
The 1824 granite Hall, however, needs immediate
and extensive modifications
to guarantee that this trust is upheld.
Climate improvements are imperative, universal access is crucial,
the artifacts have outgrown the space, our
permanent exhibition needs
to be reconfigured to convey the inherent drama of the
Pilgrim story.
These critical changes are NOW underway!

Day."
The actual anniversary date of the Landing is December 21 but,
when the day falls on a Sunday (as it does in 2008), the Pilgrim
Society celebrates a day early - on Saturday, December 20.
